How does being listed help my SEO and online visibility?
When your business appears on trusted, established websites, it signals to Google that your business has Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness — which are two of the four ranking signals Google publicly outlines, alongside Experience and Expertise. These four make up E-E-A-T, and they are what Google uses to determine the ranking position of websites.
Our Featured Calgary Business Listing is a form of marketing that strengthens those signals in a way most directories cannot. Instead of a simple backlink, your featured listing includes an entire professionally written, SEO-optimized page about your business. That page gives Google additional context about what you offer, who you serve, and why you matter — which has a direct impact on your search visibility.
Prime placement in your category helps you stand out to Calgarians who visit our directory. But the SEO value comes from the long-form write-up: search engines use that content to understand your business, connect topics, and reference you more often in both traditional search results and AI-powered search experiences.
AI overviews pull information from credible websites to answer questions, make recommendations, and match customers with the right Calgary businesses — and with the right feature, that can be yours.
What is the InspiringClicks Calgary Business Directory?
Our Calgary business directory is a hassle-free way to increase your brand awareness, help your SEO, and showcase your business to local Calgarians on our website.
Unlike many generic directories, ours includes a featured listing which actually promotes your business. In addition to a backlink, we create a page dedicated to your business on our website—what we call Calgary Business Spotlight. This post highlights your strengths, core services, achievements, reviews, and everything needed for people to instantly reach out and connect with your local business.
What is the difference between a free listing and a featured listing?
A free listing gives you a basic business profile at no cost. It includes your contact information (including socials), business description, and category placement on the directory. It also gives you a useful backlink to boost SEO and a way to be part of the growing Calgary business community without spending a dollar.
A featured listing (799 CAD/year) is designed for businesses that want higher visibility on our website, better SEO signals, and a more positive impact on brand image and awareness. It includes:
Top placement in your category on the business directory.
A dedicated spotlight post on our website.
A professional business profile at the very top of our Calgary business page.
An SEO-focused blog post created for your own website.
One month of free SEO services when you choose any of our SEO packages (which go beyond the directory and focus on ranking you higher on search engines).
Featured listings typically receive around 3× more visibility than free listings because we not only list you in the directory, but also create a dedicated page on our website and a page on your website—strengthening visibility and SEO even further.
Will a featured listing help my business rank on Google?
It definitely helps, but a single post won’t rank a business on its own. Backlinks and features help build authority, but strong SEO rankings require consistent work on your website.
Our featured option bridges the gap between traditional listings and SEO because it includes an SEO-optimized blog post created by our high Google-authorship writers and published directly on your website.
However, to actually rank for the competitive keywords in your industry, we provide completely separate SEO services. These services go beyond the directory and focus on improving your website’s structure, content, technical performance, and long-term ranking potential.
Do I need to be located in Calgary to list my business?
Yes. This directory was created for the purpose of supporting Calgary businesses with marketing made easy. Our mission is to support, promote, and highlight local businesses in Calgary, helping strengthen the business ecosystem and inspire growth within our city.
However, if you are outside Calgary then we can help you too. For content creation or SEO services, please call us or view our packages.
How fast is the approval process for a Calgary business listing?
Approvals can happen as quickly as one hour, but typically take 24–48 hours. Once approved, you will receive a confirmation email from the InspiringClicks team. This applies to both free and premium listings in the Calgary Business Directory.
For featured listings, you’ll also receive coordination for:
– Your spotlight profile
– Your premium top-of-page placement
– Your SEO blog post creation
Can I update my listing after it’s published?
Absolutely. We provide update or changes to your Calgary business listing, spotlight page, or premium profile at any time and at no cost. Just email or call us at.
What happens to my featured listing after 12-months?
Your featured listing stays active for as long as your subscription is active. After the 12-month mark, what you keep — and what you lose — depends on whether you renew, so here’s the clearest breakdown to understand exactly how it works.
If You Do NOT Renew

- Top placement in your industry category

- Your spotlight article stays live on our website
- Your business remains in the directory as a standard listing
